    The wingers are bringing so little no surprise when you look at the stats of Gilliead and Vernam just 1 goal from a combined 16 appearances is nowhere near good enough for them two

    In this formation wingers must be scoring goals as well as putting in crosses

    Shocking header from Vernam.

    ANOTHER GOAL conceded down our right.

    What did he do

    I've praised him for his defensive work before today but today he achieved very little never presented a danger that I can remember

    As others have said we should have got wise and attracted a few free kicks in and around that congested box..

    I thought they were well organised second half and stayed in the formation to frustrate us and it worked. Yes we missed some sitters but once they went 5-4-0 when that big lad came on and with the way we were playing I just couldn't see us scoring.

    Personally I think it was a combination of both their solid defending and our poor finishing.

    At the end of the day Adams is the one who job is on the line with regards decisions on and off the field, where as the backroom staff would still be hear, in Adams I trust.
    I don't think Park knows any more than the rest, just his interpretation of the situation, your above is a little OTT, and uncalled for.

    Back to form and a decent win. I'm going 4/1 with Sutton & Songo'o in the holding roles

    we need a win saturday to keep up in the mix. Salford away the week after will not be easy. More of the Srevenage performance please.
    2-0 city for me. Cook and Theo Larayan Ronaldo Shadiki Robinson on his debut late on to seal the win.

    Funny you should say that.... I noticed this morning in the T&A he was saying we want to be competing at the top end of the table, rather than saying that promotion is the aim.

    Angol and Eisa got injured but Lavery and Robinson aren't match fit which was supposed to be the plan so in that regard we have failed

    Since Dennis says Lavery and Robinson aren't ready to play and we're in trouble if Cook is injured I can't see why you didn't mention them

    I assumed you made a mistake or just decided to miss the point you tell me

    Exactly. In his eagerness to dominate every thread, @Kevin1954@Kevin1954 is now putting his own slant on what another poster is stating, to prompt an argument . It's clear to me what Dennis was saying....and it's a fact!!!

    This is what Dennis said for clarity

    “I was under the impression from Sparks' earlier interviews that we were intent on assembling a squad early in the transfer window so that there was time to practice playing in the Adams' style and by inference be fit and raring to go. And now we know that isn't the case. Given the long term injuries to Eisa and Angol, the lack of fitness of Lavery and Robinson, I just hope that nothing adverse happens to Cook before the alternatives are fit enough to play.” (Edited by Dennis to reflect fully what was posted earlier without any deletions or changes of punctuation)


    BOTH Angol and Eisa were signed early in the transfer window , which meet the criteria Dennis referred to , but then later in the sentence added Lavery and Robinson., One of those was only signed yesterday, one was signed very late , just before the season started. That why I deliberately didn’t mention them, precisely because they didn’t meet the criteria Dennis referred to “ Practice playing in the Adams style and by inference fit and raring to go ( at the start of the season)

    A player signed yesterday can hardly said to be conversant in playing the Adams style and be as fit as the rest of the squad. Hence not meeting the point Dennis was making and precisely why I didn’t mention him.( nor Lavery).

    More than happy to explain , sorry I don’t know your name.

    When making a task sound really easy it's important to do it correctly

    In this regard you have failed
